  1. More Fuel Delivery & Cooling Parts

    Are you shipping to Colorado yet?
  2. New product launch: PiLink for ECMLink owners

    Anyone hook up am Amp so they can play tunes? I have mine almost done but there's a ton of noise. So I'll need to figure that out. Was wondering if any of you had already done it.
  3. 2G Engine sounds done

    None taken! Thanks for jumping in and saving me! Hahaha
  4. More engine sounds at low rpm

    Makes sense. I've been sourcing parts to build a new engine and my builder saw and reached out. I think he's going to take a look and also tune it for me. Pretty pleased he reached out. The tune on this is basically nonexistent (basic setup in ecmlink is done as far as injectors and such...
  5. More engine sounds at low rpm

    I don't want to lose sight on the issue, but if it's piston slap, what can I salvage from this block?Crank? Rods? I'd assume pistons and block would need replaced.
  6. More engine sounds at low rpm

    It is the stroker. Didn't build it myself. Built by a user on here. Noise stops when engine is warm.
  7. More engine sounds at low rpm

    Son of a. That's what I was worried about. It's basically always been there. This engine has maybe 5 miles on it and some idle time. Built a couple years ago, but never ran it. I have a picture from when I took the head off that shows some uneven wear marks in the cylinder. You can...
  8. More engine sounds at low rpm

    Balance shafts deleted.
  9. More engine sounds at low rpm

    Since you guys helped me so much on my last engine noise. How about this one. Sounds almost like a diesel at low RPMs and would die if i don't give it gas, before it warms to idle. Is fine over 1k rpms and when warm.
  10. 2G Engine sounds done

    To close this out as solved. It was the torque converter/flex plate bolts. Will need some thread locker on it. I'll be posting my next issue shortly! Haha. Last one to solve and I'll be super happy.
  11. 2G Engine sounds done

    Checked coils and spark plug wires. No damage at all. Checked starter, good. All grounds were in good shape.The noise wasn't the bolts rubbing anything but the flex plate hitting the bolts, or so I hypothesize.
  12. 2G Engine sounds done

    Yeah, it's out. Doesn't hurt to check.
  13. 2G Engine sounds done

    I'll be replacing them all. This kiggly 1g engine in a 2g setup is nice, but the flexplate bolt debate is complex. Think I found some that may work though.
  14. 2G Engine sounds done

    Quick update. Pulled the starter, looks to be in good condition. (It was brand new) no harm in checking. I did find the flex plate to be loose. Like all the bolts came out half a turn (for convo sake) and the flex plate will wiggle back and forth and hit the bolts (making a metal on...
  15. 2G Engine sounds done

    Looks like I'll be breaking out the tester I got a few weeks ago
  16. 2G Engine sounds done

    Jmf coil pack relocation. So, under manifold, above the ac compressor.
  17. 2G Engine sounds done

    Cold compression check acceptable?
  18. 2G Engine sounds done

    Yeah, I haven't run it since. It scares the hell out of me. I went searching for the sound with a screw driver but it just seemed everywhere I looked I could feel/hear it. I want to check the starter for sure. I have some hypothesis' in my mind. But, that electrical thing is one the...
  19. 2G Engine sounds done

    Checked rockers, everything in the head was intact. I pulled to cams tonight to put stock back in and see about the rotation. I didn't get everything back together, but I'm starting to suspect these cams I bought second hand. Should get everything back together and timed tomorrow. Before...
  20. 2G Engine sounds done

    Hmmm, didn't notice it in person. I'll have to check this out when I start it again. Good catch!
  21. 2G Engine sounds done

    Check teeth on starter? Like maybe the teeth didn't retract?
  22. 2G Engine sounds done

    Yep. Just making sure. Will rotate the crank to check the flywheel bolts. I'm assuming I should see some scouring if they're rubbing anything. They didn't rub with a previous head, but it's always good to check. Also want to make sure it rotates fine. What are some causes of binding...
  23. 2G Engine sounds done

    It is auto. I'll double check them again.With cams out I should be able to rotate engine without fear of valves hitting pistons, correct?
  24. 2G Engine sounds done

    Will def do that, but it's def metal on metal. I scoped the pistons and don't see any marking. I have a suspicion about cams and timing, so I'm starting there for now. Keep the options coming! I'll definitely check the electrical.
  25. 2G Engine sounds done

    Engine started making this noise, now I'm not really sure where to go from here. Any help diagnosing would be great. Probably drop the oil pan shortly. Timing is on. Head components are new, new lifters that were bled.
  26. Rix Racing - New Year and new goals!

    I'll be hitting you up for a tune this spring.
  27. More Fuel Delivery & Cooling Parts

    That would make me so hapoy!
  28. More Fuel Delivery & Cooling Parts

    I wish you guys delivered to Colorado. :(
  29. RTM Racing - new (here) vendor

    I've ordered numerous things from you guys and get it faster than when I order here in the states. Love getting oem stuff from you guys we can't get in the states. A+ from me, always.
  30. 2G Where can I buy an Intermediate Shaft?

    Resurrecting this as I am in DIRE need. 4 yr build derailed by a manual instead of auto shaft.
  31. John Freund Racing - New Vendor!

    Ordered. Let's check this baby out!
  32. 2G Torque converter not meeting flex plate

    New converter worked well. We have a running car. Next to get it driving. At the shop getting exhaust right now.
  33. John Freund Racing - New Vendor!

    So if you don't have a radio, you can naturally just use those power sources. Thanks.
  34. AWD Spyder Street Sleeper

    I am NOT good at updating, obviously. But, first start happened. Exhaust on Tuesday. Buttoning up things today!
  35. John Freund Racing - New Vendor!

    I meant power. Sorry!
  36. John Freund Racing - New Vendor!

    This is cool and I want to pull the trigger, but wondering about lower solutions for all of this? How would one lower these all the most efficient way. Also, will there be grounding noise when trying to output sound from 3.5?
  37. 2G Torque converter not meeting flex plate

    Talked to IPT and they said they'd have to look at it, but they did say they used to etch IPT and customers names into their converters if they were going on the shelf. So incant be 100% sure but there's certainly a good chance it's an IPT restall. The question is do I send it to them to confirm?
  38. 2G Torque converter not meeting flex plate

    Well, considering it was sold to me as a 2g unit, not sure what to think. There are some engravings that I'd like to follow up on. One says IPT (not sure if they identified their converters that way). Another says boosted tech.
  39. 2G Torque converter not meeting flex plate

    For anyone following. Fairly confident i was sold a 1g converter. Shame on me for not checking. Bought a precision restall and i think it should fix all my issues. Now to reinstall.
  40. 2G Starter Issue Please Help!

    yes please!
  41. 2G Torque converter not meeting flex plate

    I assume this is why I'm having trouble getting it to come out that 1/4 inch. I'm going to try some airbags behind it.
  42. 2G Torque converter not meeting flex plate

    Thanks, I'll try that. I tried a little but really didn't have too much time. Its sounding more and more like another engine pull. I'm not too excited about that. If so, I may just get a different converter.
  43. 2G Torque converter not meeting flex plate

    It's not installed backwards. Besides having pictures sent to kiggly to make sure i had it right, the original issue that has brought this to my attention is the starter not making contact with the torque converter.
  44. 2G Torque converter not meeting flex plate

    2g auto tranny, 6 bolt engine. Kiggly kit used and installed correctly (double checked with kiggly with pics). My flex plate bolts were too long so I have cut them, but my torque converter doesn't slide out the 1/8-1/4 inch that it needs to meet the flex plate. I'm thinking about pulling...
  45. 6 Bolt Swap Starter Issue

    So i took the inspection plate off and I can see the starter and it's coming up short. That said, I also see about the amount it's short in the gap between the (i think) flex plate and the torque converter. Maybe my bolts are too long as I remember torqueing them down correctly. You can see...
  46. 6 Bolt Swap Starter Issue

    I have a 6bolt block, 95 auto tranny (awd). I am using an awd 95 auto starter and the same starter plate. Put a few starters in and the same issue. It's just spinning and not connecting to the torque converter (my assumption since I can't actually see it). Used kiggly kit for the swap...
  47. 2G Starter Issue Please Help!

    Bump to see if anyone has solved this. I have read about 5 threads that all die with no solution. 6bolt swap in a 98 gst, awd converted. Donor was a 95 gsx. Used 95 starter plate, tranny, and starter with the kiggly kit.
  48. 6 Bolt Swap Starter Issue

    Anyone ever solve this? I'm having the same issue.
